This database contains information on establishments approved by the USDA to:

• perform taxidermy on hunted trophies
• mount trophies
• store and/or process restricted* materials

*a restricted material is a product from a country of disease concern to the USDA. See our Country Disease Status listing.

You can search for an approved establishment several ways:

• you can search using the establishment name, state, and product description. This is a limited search that will provide the fewest results
• you can search using one of the following fields: establishment name or state or product description. This is a broad search that will provide the most results
• you can use the "%" as a wildcard character in the "Establishment Name" field. Note: do not type the quotation marks.
  • example: entering "ac%" will return all companies that have "ac" as the first two letters of the name
  • example: entering "%smith%" will return all companies that have "smith" as part of the name i.e. Smithsonian, Joe Smith, Smithson
  • example: entering "%tax" will return all companies that have "tax" in the name, i.e. taxidermy, taxidermists, taxidermic
